A Bruins win shifts Cuthbert westward and saves us from Singh!

What ever happened to the days the NHL waits for round 1 to be over and round 2 starts after the completion of round 1?

Game 7 Stars/VGK and game 1 Rangers/Canes starting on the same day tomorrow..

Racing to end the playoffs. This is why starting in Oct and having the ASB sucks.

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

If TOR wins today, they may reach SCQF at least

That's a pretty bold prediction: if Toronto wins Game 7 of a 7 game series they may advance to the next round.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

For today, I root for Toronto. f*** Marchand.

But then I hope they get trucked by Florida in Round 2.

Let Toronto slay one dragon only to meet a bigger one

 

[VanillaCoke]

I think I'd rather Toronto actually pull it off for once. Them losing is just another "Yep. Toronto choked. Again." Boston doing it again after another year of kicking their opponent's ass for three games only to lose anyway would be funny.

Bruins losing is always a preferred outcome, the only thing that's interesting is if leafs lose it probably means big changes and more entertaining offseason.
I'd def rather watch the leafs panthers too.

NHL did not want an empty Sunday. So booked nYR and Car to ensure there was a game this weekend. Didn’t k ow if they would have a sat game until Thursday late evening EST.
If it was a We’d or something with no game I doubt the nhl books a round 2 matchup to fill in the date.

 

[rypper]

I will cheer for Boston if only to insure we get Cuthbert and simpson over the hnic B team.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Anyone else more excited for Leafs vs Bruins today than they were for Game 6?

As a fan that hates both teams equally, I want this to go 4OT and end on a controversial goal.

Yuck. This is something I’ve always *hated* about the NBA. A ‘round’ is kind of a sacred thing to me.

unless you had an empty weekend time slot there was no reason to kickstart the next round until everyone was done.

I assume that on Friday before the Van/Nas game, the NHL made the announcement that CAR/NYR were going ahead on Sunday since they wanted a game on Sunday regardless. Would have been curious if they would have tried to put CAR/NYR on Sat had the leafs lost game 6.

But, it's the reality when you are scheduling game 7's on the weekend. No assurance series get to that game.

$20 bucks says TO goes into the 3rd with the lead and chokes it out with 5 mins to go.

This literally has me majorly pulling for the Bruins even though I really don't care who wins.

 

[VanJack]

After 2011.....how can you not be pulling for the Bruins and Marchand to do the old 'el foldo'?

I mean they have a shot at dubious NHL history.....the only team in back-to-back seasons to blow a 3-1 series lead. It sounds so good just to say it.

miss my morning coffee, I mean SCSF or SCF

I want to drink some sweet sweet rat tears.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Either Toronto loses or Boston loses. Either way it’s a great night. Then time to watch Florida dismantle the winner next series.

And get this: If you think about it, Florida's best defense man and best forward are both contributed by our very own beloved village idiot.

What did we end up with? Adam "17 games" Clendening, and Olli "Ghetto Lidstrom" Juolevi.

Well, better get on the phone with Buttman and the Chicago Coverups.

The only reason I want the Bruins to win is because when they get crushed the next round,

f*** Benning

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Sounds like Matthews is playing tonight.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I hate to say it but Go Bruins.

 

[Flik]

I'm stuck watching US based feeds so I won't be getting Shorty either way. Go Leafs. f*** the Bruins, now and forever.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

That’s horrifying reading. Jesus.

Just looked at his feed and that’s bizarre.

He comes from the Pat McAfee school of “broadcasting” and personality. It’s not something I enjoy and think he actually hurts the sport.
